2 Trucking challenges encourage modal conversion 2 2 Regulatory restrictions Aging driver population Quality of life challenges Regulatory restrictions Aging driver population Quality of life challenges Decreasing Driver Supply Projected U.S. freight increases Aging highway and bridge infrastructure Significant public funding gap Projected U.S. freight increases Aging highway and bridge infrastructure Significant public funding gap Increasing Highway Congestion Rising diesel prices Alternate fuel sources require major investment Rising diesel prices Alternate fuel sources require major investment Fuel Cost

3 Shippers striving for cost savings and sustainability Companies implementing strategies to achieve savings — Supply chain simplification — Near-sourcing of manufacturing — Use of optimization software — Alternate transportation mode use Corporate sustainability initiatives gaining visibility — Rail is the most fuel efficient form of ground transportation Intermodal well positioned to deliver both 3 2011 Logistics Cost Breakdown Source: CSCMP 2012 State of Logistics Report

4 The Northwest Ohio (NWO) Terminal Enhanced connectivity of the network design enables flexibility Central element of the National Gateway: superior access from East Coast ports to the Midwest Strategic Importance Foundation of the hub and spoke connectivity advantage State-of-the-art terminal technology and equipment Environmentally-friendly, contributing to greener supply chains Regular new service offerings Competitive transit time Streamlined coast-to-coast service Efficiencies improve service performance Network Advantages Service Expansion Innovative Design 4

10 Montreal Major markets for Montreal intermodal growth Divert NY Port truck traffic by providing a truck competitive transit time. East Coast International East Coast International Attract West Coast international and land bridge traffic. Interline International Interline International Leverage rail assets to convert truck traffic to western US and Mexico markets. Interline Domestic Interline Domestic Connect Québec with Southeast and Midwest to convert truck traffic. CSX Core Domestic CSX Core Domestic Shipper access to key Canadian distribution and consumption markets — Connectivity to Ohio Valley and Southeast United States Helps shippers capture NAFTA growth potential — North American Surface Transportation Trade up 7% Strategic connectivity enabled by Northwest Ohio terminal — Accelerating cross-border highway-to-rail (H2R) conversions

11 Ohio Valley opportunities Serviceable Markets in the Ohio Valley (700-1000 miles) — Ohio: Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton — Indiana: Indianapolis, Evansville, Elkhart — Kentucky: Louisville, Lexington — Other: St. Louis, Nashville Two day intermodal transit Traffic is 80% southbound 11
